Thanks for the info. I already ordered a set of the Rizomas since they were the only ones I can have within a few days. I may consider switching to the LighTechs down the road though.

I rode the bike to work today, and I had the biggest grin under my helmet. I have to say that so far, everything about the bike is perfect. It really feels like i'm riding a 600 with the power of 1000cc engine. The engine pulls strong from down low and just makes some of the most amazing sounds to ever come from a road going motorcycle. Saw a Desmo on my way and got a thumbs up from the rider. That's the bike I have dreamed of owning since it was introduced, but I have to say, I don't know if a Desmo would make me any happier than the RSV4 has. In many ways, IMO, this is the perfect motorcycle at the moment.

Here are few updated pics. I installed the Rizoma rear sets and the Austin Racing exhaust.

Looks the biz Ara! Those rearsets are sharp. I'm glad you opted for the low-slung version Austin. The higher ones look a bit off to me. Did you end up going with a ti mid pipe?

Thanks guys. I thought the hi mount looked a bit off as well. Plus this way I can keep my passenger pegs, even though i'll be taking them off shortly. The mid-pipe is Ti. As for the pillion seat, it replaces the center panel on the tail section, although I don't know if I can call it a seat. More like a perch. Looks like this:

That back seat looks like a sex toy. Hope you got some riding in Saturday before the weather.
